DePaul sophomore Aneesah Morrow was selected to the John R. Wooden Award Late Season Top 20 Watch List as announced by the Los Angeles Athletic Club on Monday evening. A panel of national college basketball experts trimmed down the midseason list of 25 to 20 based on student-athlete performances in the 2022-23 season thus far.
 
Morrow has shined bright in her second year donning the scarlet and blue, averaging 25.0 points per game to rank fourth in the nation while collecting 11.9 rebounds per game which is good for sixth. Her 17 double-doubles this season is fourth in Division I.
 
Through 54 games, the Chicago native has scored 1,246 points and collected 706 rebounds and continues to climb DePaul's career ranks, sitting at 28th in scoring and 13th in boards. Nationally, Morrow's 44 double-doubles is good for 10th among active players.
 
A season ago, Morrow was named to the Wooden National Ballot and the lone freshman among the nation's top-15 players.  
 
Morrow is joined on the list by Aaliyah Edwards of Connecticut as well as Maddy Siegrist of Villanova.  

The players on the list are considered strong candidates for the 2023 John R. Wooden Award Women's Player of the Year presented by Wendy's. Players not chosen to the late season list are still eligible for the Wooden Award™ National Ballot.

The National Ballot consists of 15 top players who have proven to their universities that they meet or exceed the qualifications of the Wooden Award. Nearly 1,000 voters will rank in order 10 of those 15 players when voting opens prior to the NCAA Tournament and will allow voters to take into consideration performance during early round games.

The Wooden Award All American Team™ will be announced the week of the "Elite Eight" round of the NCAA Tournament. The winner of the 2023 John R. Wooden Award will be presented by Wendy's following the NCAA Tournament in April.
